We look at the division of 40973587 by 960 
Our goal is to divide 40973587 by 960.

Let's proceed to step 1:
If we divide 4 by 960, we get 0 and a remainder of 4.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 4 to get 4.
Fetch the next digit (0) from the dividend, attach it to 4 and continue: 40 / 960

Moving on to step 2:
960 can be fit into 40 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 40.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 40 to get 40.
Append the next digit (9) from the dividend to 40 and continue with: 409 / 960

Advancing to step 3:
409 divided by 960 is 0 with a remainder of 409.
The next digit of our result is 0. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtract 0 from 409 to get 409.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 409, then repeat: 4097 / 960

Moving on to step 4:
4097 divided by 960 is 4 with a remainder of 257.
Record the quotient 4 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4.0
If we subtract 3840 from 4097, we get 257.
Bring next digit (3) of the dividend behind the 257 and repeat the process: 2573 / 960

Moving on to step 5:
2573 divided by 960 is 2 with a remainder of 653.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 1920 from 2573 and we're left with 653.
Grab the next digit (5) from the dividend, add it to 653, then carry on: 6535 / 960

Going ahead to step 6:
When dividing 6535 by 960, we get 6 with a remainder of 775.
Record the quotient 6 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 426.0
If we take 5760 away from 6535, we end up with 775.
Take the next digit (8) from the dividend and append it to 775, then repeat: 7758 / 960

Advancing to step 7:
If we divide 7758 by 960, we get 8 and a remainder of 78.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4268.0
Subtract 7680 from 7758 to get 78.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 78 and continue: 787 / 960

Let's proceed to step 8:
960 goes into 787 0 times with a remainder of 787.
The number 0 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 42680.0
If we take 0 away from 787, we end up with 787.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7870, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
960 can be fit into 7870 8 times, resulting in a remainder of 190.
Use 8 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42680.8
The remainder is 190 after subtracting 7680 from 7870.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1900, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 960 fits into 1900 1 times, leaving a remainder of 940.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42680.81
Subtracting 960 from 1900 leaves us with 940.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 9400, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 11:
If we divide 9400 by 960, we get 9 and a remainder of 760.
Put 9 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42680.819
If we take 8640 away from 9400, we end up with 760.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 7600, and continue the process.

On to step 12:
960 goes into 7600 7 times with a remainder of 880.
Write down 7 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42680.8197
Subtract 6720 from 7600 to get 880.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 8800, and continue the process.

Step 13:
If we divide 8800 by 960, we get 9 and a remainder of 160.
Use 9 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42680.81979
Subtract 8640 from 8800 to get 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 1600, and continue the process.

Step 14:
960 can be fit into 1600 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 640.
The next digit of our result is 1. 
Result so far: 42680.819791
The remainder is 640 after subtracting 960 from 1600.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

On to step 15:
The number 960 fits into 6400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 640.
The next digit of our result is 6. 
Result so far: 42680.8197916
The remainder is 640 after subtracting 5760 from 6400.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

On to step 16:
The number 960 fits into 6400 6 times, leaving a remainder of 640.
Use 6 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42680.81979166
If we take 5760 away from 6400, we end up with 640.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 6400, and continue the process.

The final result is 42680.81979166 with a remainder of 6.4e-07.
